Long With compassion Poems

Once,
or twice, 
maybe thrice,
surely not
not fractal

A clan of crazy ecofeminists
conspired within an 88 unit residential castle
in their historically converted 
sometimes hysterically clueless condo
colonial-red predative brick 
badly bald aging building

With a sometimes soggy south walled school,
but...

Conditions were harsh out in Kansas,
For the children and Sarah and Paul.
Neighbors and friends packed up and were gone;
Headed west they could hear fortune's call.
Never sure year to year of the harvest,
So their talents were...

She stood with her back turned to me

This story remains unfinished
as do all the best tales told.
Yet I must warn you
it has a happy healthy ending,

To prepare for final cosmic breath
exhaled

echoing first breath
inhaling
waiting to exhale

silent sacred pause 
for Earth's final soliloquy 

Terminating all humane
and inhumane futures,
healthy
and disturbing relationships,

Future obligations
and past assets

Resigning...

the spark that lit the fire inside me dwindles.

pieces of our unspeakable personal story

sex therapist player,
or green resonant systems organizer

much less smell,
or touch,
or deeply feel...

I flinch, sometimes.

Wince.

Maybe flirt with longer-term
dissociation,
to protect myself
from suicide

Indefinable Love...

Duty without love makes us hard and dictatorial.
With Love, we are softer, have a clearer, wider understanding. And: Accountable for what we do and who we are.

Education without love creates efficient, obedient but heartless...

In the oaks, with leaves
Waltzing to melodies
Notes of light, joy, faith
Reflected in His grace
As He rains down His love
Across the souls of ones
Who know Him as their God
The Savior of the world
